This parent represents all that is wrong in youth lacrosse. Saying a kid is playing their second year of U13 means nothing you moron! USL, if you know what that means, sets birth dates based on a 9/1 cutoff which is not the same as a school cutoff. Having kids play 2023 who are born in the summer months does not mean they're over-grade you obnoxious and arrogant twit. And the top recruit in the country is no longer the GV kid, he's now #2 which is still great, BUT he was not recruited through GV, he was recruited 100% through his club team.

Blatantly dirty hit at the end of the game, your better than that.

That coach you brought in cheats all the time with overGRADE kids. If you cheat in life at that degree for youth sports then.....
Full disclosure - - I'm a Freedom parent but let me say this: What a crock. So many points to counter. Let's start at the end and work our way back.

Not a single kid on the Freedom Red 2023 roster is "overGRADE". BL, on the other hand, has been rumored to have MULTIPLE Kennet kids who are "old for their grade" because they were reclassified. Any truth to that or just some wild accusations--guess if you're going to mudsling with no evidence anyone can.

The "blatantly dirty hit" at the end was assessed by both refs as a 1 minute UR penalty because the defenseman took too many steps--that's a kid going a little too hard, not dirty.

It was 5-4 at half and 10-4 final because BL absolutely took advantage of their strengths in the 2nd half no argument.

"Be careful who you jump into bed with Freedom just because you want to beat Brotherly Love." That is seriously just embarrassing, it's one of the most narcissistic quotes I've seen on here. Try not to hurt your shoulder patting yourself on the back, coach.

Just curious as to the "must have been 6 Duke's Nationals kids" comment--what's your point? There are actually 8 because this is the club they are playing with locally. Are the Nationals kids some kind of monsters or why should anyone "Be careful" that they are playing lacrosse?

Just such a strange post about youth lacrosse. Sad, actually.

Sad is you saying none of Freedom kids are overGRADE. Some are definitely going to play there 2nd year of U13 this year making them overGrade.
